What the record shows
The sale raised USD 5.13 million, a significant sum at the time, particularly notable as it occurred before Ethereum's own trading platform was fully operational. The project successfully launched its token, which later became tradable on various platforms. The record does not provide further details about the project's long-term development or market performance.
Era context: the genesis years (2013–2016)
This sale occurred during the Genesis Years (2013-2016), when token sales were a novel concept pioneered by projects like Mastercoin and Ethereum. The period saw early experiments with blockchain-based fundraising before the industry matured. Ethereum's 2014 sale had demonstrated the viability of the model, though the 2016 DAO incident would later expose vulnerabilities in smart contract systems.
